Migraine Headache
Complex Migraines
There are several types of migraine headaches. A complex migraine is one in which there are neurological symptoms such
as weakness, loss of vision or difficulty in speaking, in addition to
the headache. In fact, complex migraines may be mistaken for a stroke.

One theory about
the cause of migraine headache is that blood vessels in the brain
suddenly narrow and then dilate; when the blood vessels dilate, the
headache rack develops. During the spasm phase, certain parts of the
brain may receive too little blood, and this may cause the stroke like
symptoms. However, unlike a stroke, blood flow is not permanently
interrupted during complex migraine, and the neurological symptoms are
nearly always temporary.
Other types of migraines include:
*
Common migraine- Causes a severe headache associated with nausea and
sensitivity to light and sound.
* Classic migraine- With this type,
there is an "aura," a set of warning symptoms such as flashing lights or
blurry vision, that comes and goes over 10 to 30 minutes just before the
headache begins.
Complex migraines have features like blurred
vision headache, eye strain headache that outlast the headache itself
and there is a relationship of seizures to migraines, especially in
children.
There are more treatments than ever before to prevent
or treat migraine. So, if you have bothersome persistent headache (with
or without symptoms of complex migraine), see your headache specialist
for evaluation and cure headache after knowing the headache causes.
